We sat down with Paul Matthews to explore the current state of learning and where the role of reflection lies in creating more powerful experiences. 

In Paul's view, modern training experiences rely heavily on teaching content in a compressed time period without creating space for reflection. 

A provocative viewpoint perhaps? Join us to listen to the full episode, here's a summary of our key talking points:

  • Power of reflection within learning. We talk about the NHS method of "see one, do one, teach one" 
  • How social media/mobile phone usage inhibits reflection as a practice and why the art of asking yourself constructive questions.
  • The state of reflective practices within L&D, how to create the space for it in the workplace. 
  • The role of leaders in creating space for learning programmes by "showing the way forward" and the steps you need to take to create a successful learning journey
